Museum Cultures. Birkbeck, University of London
Museums are far more than storehouses of treasures or curiosities, since they both represent and construct culture. Museums have been of enormous importance in shaping empires, nations and cities, and their collections remain inextricable from histories of conflict, colonialism and trauma. Museums establish powerful narratives of progress and primitivism, knowledge and ignorance, inclusion and exclusion. To study museums is to study the development and fierce contestation of our collective cultural imagination and memory.
